Dixie Was Off the Hook!

Finally getting settled in back here in the OC after having such a killer time at the Dixie. Hats off to Marion and the DHB collective for putting so much into making a great event for us all to enjoy. Thank you all for your hospitality.

Highlights for me --
Watching my man blaze the Super-G on Sunday's killer hill -- awesome!
Seeing real fall colors for the first time
Remembering to pack my heaviest jacket and two sets of gloves -- Thank God!!

Breaking the Gang of Germany treasures out of customs custody
Packing so many of our favorite friends into our room for the after party
"Spirited" Happy Birthday song for the Brown Bomber

Meeting some new AXE Army young guns (sorry we couldn't find you for the group shot!)
